Peter Marshall: What are "Do It," "I Can Help," and "I Can't Get Enough"?
George Gobel: I don't know, but it's coming from the next apartment.

Peter Marshall: Charley, you've just decided to grow strawberries. Are you going to get any during the first year?

Paul Lynde: Bitterly disappointed.

That's quite a duo there, BP. LOL

What amazes me is how quick they are with those responses. Funny stuff.

I was reading about HS last year after seeing Biography on Paul Lynde...

They way it worked is that each star was given a few answers to choose from or they could ad-lib their own...

They said Lynde, Weaver, Gobel and Rose Marie frequently went with their own lines...

The way they did the shows was to do 5 (a weeks worth) every Monday... they had breaks after the third (Wednesday) show... with a catered meal including all the wine you could drink...

Lynde used to drink the wine like it was water and he said the tapings went in order as the first show was was the Monday show... the second the Tuesday show... etc...

He said the Lynde got drunk every week during the tapings and that his one-liners got much saucier on the Thursday and Friday tapings...

They said towards the end of his life that he stayed so drunk and high that they HAD to feed him answers because he was so incoherent... but his smirky delivery was always pure gold...

Paul Lynde was hilarious, much better than Whoopie.

And he was Templeton.
